Greetings! I am Kathleen (Kathi) Sutton, a Transpersonal Psychotherapist and Registered Art Therapist licensed in Colorado, Nevada and Washington with 11 years of experience. Before that, I was a parenting coach and educator for many years. I have worked with clients from ages three to ninety three: individuals, families and groups, in residential treatment centers, outpatient group practice, correctional facilities, assisted living and a community-based art therapy collective.
I am especially passionate about working with women seeking empowerment, wanting to build self esteem, recovering from abusive relationships and those seeking direction, encouragement and guidance in navigating big life changes. Navigating the process of aging is also of special interest to me.
I have a strengths-based approach within the context of an authentic relationship, that being the essential foundation for success with any healing modality. I want to get to know you and I want you to feel heard and respected! I strive to help you uncover and validate your inherent health and goodness, with sensitivity to individual needs and interests. I offer a mindfulness approach as I we employ trauma-informed talk therapy, somatosensory therapy, and expressive arts therapies, facilitating insight, expression of feelings, and release of trauma stored in the body and nervous system, thereby building emotional resilience. I can provide psychoeducation, when appropriate, to help you develop practices that can invite self-acceptance as well as support improved self-regulation and self care.
Sometimes even the act of reaching out for help can take you far along a healing path. I would be honored to walk that path with you, and as I relate to the very best in you, I hope to help you to know that best self as well.

Kathleen has been an amazing help to me in my dealing with loss, anxiety, adhd, and self confidence issues. The amount of progress we’ve made in the 10 months that I’ve been seeing her has truly been life changing. I’m finally moving forward with my life and it’s her constant reassurance and help that has given me the tools to do so. I cannot recommend her enough

Ongoing support has really helped me conquer anxiety, worry, fear, panic and stress. Kathy has provided useful tools to use and has actively listened and supported me. It is comforting to know that I have someone available that I feel comfortable communicating with and that I am not alone.

Kathleen is the only reason I'm able to move through the last few weeks with more joy and less anger/sadness (among many other issues). Her ability to guide me through some unpleasant confrentations has saved my brain and heart much stress and anxiety. 10/10, highly recommend~ especially with parenting support and tips.

We have connected well & she understands me in a way that most others don't. It makes it easier to talk to her and for her to provide me with methods that help me.

I always feel heard. Kathleen has been very helpful in directing me to several “aha” moments in how I view my situations and how I can move forward. She’s very easy to talk to.

Kathi has been a great value to me and has helped me drop all my walls that I had surrounded myself with. I truly felt a bond and a great friend. Thankyou very much for helping me out and will refer you to others in need.

I’ve been seeing Kathi for about 2 years now and have had nothing but positive interactions with her and she has always been very receptive to my needs even when I am unable to communicate them clearly myself.

Thank you for everything so far. I am looking forward to our continued work together.

I was skeptical about online therapy in general before I tried BETTERHELP, but I’m a believer now. Kathi was the perfect match for me. I was lucky enough to have someone available who fit all my needs, and the matching process did a wonderful job. Kathi is kind, sensitive, supportive and very intuitive. She seems to hone in on what I’m really saying and is tremendously helpful in helping me figure out what’s important, what I want, and what I need in order to get there. If you’re looking for someone to tell you what to do or to be hard on you in some way, this is not the right therapist for you. Kathi is also an art therapist, something I really love and appreciate about her. She sees things in a creative way, and helps me to as well. I leave every session feeling better about myself, not because she tells me I am better, but because with her help I’ve realised it myself. I look forward to a long and prosperous relationship with her, and to the work we will do together.
